and includes:
Cassava:75, 000MT Cassava processing Mill- About $30m investment in
Kwara and Kogi states
Rice Processing- rice farm, rice mill and integrated processes: About $30m
worth of investment in:
i. US$7.8M for 3,000HA Farm,
ii. US$6.6M for 30,000MT Mill,

Investment opportunities in the
Nigerian Solid Minerals Sector
Barytes: Estimated 21,123,913 metric tons of the minerals in Benue,
Cross River, Nassarawa and Taraba states.
Coal: The current coal resource deposit is put at 1,487 million
tonnes across Anambra, Kogi, Benue and Enugu States.
Gold in Nigeria is found in alluvial and eluvial placers and primary
veins from several parts of supracrustal (schist) belts in the northwest
and southwest of Nigeria. The most promonent occurences were
found in Zamfara, Kaduna, Kebbi, Niger, Kogi, Ogun, Osun and
Kwara States.
The Itakpe Iron Ore facility in Kogi state is very notable for its
importance in feeding the Ajaokuta Steel Rolling facility. Iron ore
resources of Nigeria exist for the deposits in the Northwestern and
Southwestern Nigeria
Nigeria has abundant Tarsand and Bitumen deposits across the
Ondo,Ogun, Edo and Benin belts.

Investment opportunities in the Nigerian
Solid Minerals Sector
• The only source of bitumen at present in Nigeria is the Kaduna Refinery
which processes imported heavy crude. This is insufficient for domestic
needs, thus, Nigeria imports bitumen to supplement her internal production.
• The unique quality of Nigerian Bitumen includes:
i. Extracted bitumen from the tarsand belt can be used as feedstock for the
Kaduna Refinery; and for setting up other bitumen processing units to meet
both domestic and West African sub-regional needs.
ii. The bitumen is uniquely aromatic and naphthenic in composition, thus can
be used for the manufacture of naphthenic base stocks for industries
specializing in critical application products.
iii. Heavy and extra-heavy crude can be extracted from the Nigerian tarsands.
This can be upgraded to synthetic crude oil or syncrude specification
tailored as feed stock to refineries.
iv. Sulphur and phenol can be derived from it.

Investment opportunities in the
Nigerian Solid Minerals Sector.
Cont.. • Laboratory tests have shown that specification grade grease within NLGI
classification number 3 and 2 (i.e. soap and clay based respectively) suitable
as lubricants for plain and roller bearings, and as sealant can be made from
the tarsand's oil.

Investment Opportunities in the
Nigerian Power Sector
As earlier mentioned, Nigeria has a population of over 170 million people.
For a country this large, the power statistics looks like this:
• Total energy consumption: 1,259 TWhr per annum
• Total production: 19.78TWhr per annum
• Consumption per head: 8.1mw per head
• Access to electricity: 51%
• Peak generation to date: 4,500mw
• United Nations has projected that Nigeria’s population will peak 230 million
in the next 20 yrs.
• The implication is that:
i. Nigeria needs 135GW1 of capacity to supply a projected 230m Nigerians.
ii. Build power plants at 7 GW/year for the next 18 years. Only two countries
– China and US – have achieved this.

Commission 23
Investment Opportunities in the Nigerian
Power Sector. Cont..
• Huge energy resource abound in Nigeria:
i. Large hydropower : 11,500MW
ii. Small hydropower : 734MW
iii. Solar : 3.5 – 7.0 kW/m/day
iv. Sun shine : 4 – 8 hrs/day
v. Wind :2 – 6 m/s @ 10m height
vi. Biomass – animal waste :61 mill tons per year
vii. Crude oil 36.2 billion barrels
viii. Natural gas 187 trillion scf
ix. Coal and lignite 2.7 billion tons

Investment Opportunities in Waste
Management- Waste to Wealth
• Waste Conversion. Lagos State alone ( 18millin population) can
generate close to 1000MW of electricity from its waste, at an initial
capital investment of USD4 billion. Lagos produces 9 000 tonnes of
waste per day from its 18 million population.
• An estimated 5million tonnes of waste is generated per annum in
Nigeria.
• Apart from the energy potentials, this represents huge investment
opportunities in :
i. WASTE STORAGE & CONTAINERIZATION
ii. WASTE COLLECTION & TRANSPORTATION
iii. TRANSFER STATIONS & DROP-OFF POINTS
iv. SOLID WASTE TREATMENT & DISPOSAL: Integrated Solid Waste
Management Facility for further processing, landfills and
dumpsites.

Investment Opportunities in the
Real Estate Sector Although the New World Wealth (NWW) report notes that Nigeria's commercial
property market performed poorly during 2007 -2013 with prices falling by 3% in US$
terms, in the local currency Naira (N) terms, prices were up by over 20%.
• Currently, there is over 200,000m2 of retail developments under construction mainly
concentrated in the South of Nigeria. These include Port Harcourt Mall (11,000m2)
which is almost 90% leased, The Owerri and Delta Malls measuring 12,000m2 and 15,
000m2 respectively and set to open in 2015.
• In Abuja, Jabi Lake Mall currently under construction will see global brands such as
Versace, Armani Jeans, Swarovski and Jack Jones enter Nigeria for the first time.
• Across the country, real estate investment opportunities abound in :
i. House/Building Renting
ii. Land Flipping/Reselling
iii. Open Space Leasing/Letting
iv. Property Development/Management
• Nigeria provides favorable Land Use Act
Nigerian Investment Promotion Commission
26
Conclusion
• Investment opportunities abound in all the
sectors of the Nigerian economy. However, the
focus of President Muhammadu Buhari’s
administration is to develop enablers of rapid
industrialization through the sectors highlighted
above.
• The sector regulator are on hand to provide
technical and detailed information on sectors of
interests.
